The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty governing the movements of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology. The Protocol was finalized and adopted in the city of Cartagena, Colombia, in January 2000, which gives it its name.

International environmental agreements are often named after the city where they are adopted or signed.

Although the Protocol was adopted in Cartagena, Colombia, its parent agreement, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), was opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. The Secretariat of the CBD and its protocols, including the Cartagena Protocol, is located in Montreal, Canada.
